Nuclear Proliferation Hysteria Reaches Peak Hypocrisy
📰 THE STORY: Al-Monitor, citing TASS, reports that Russia is ready to evacuate its staff from Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant if necessary. The report notes Russia built the plant and is constructing more facilities at the site. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: For over two decades, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly claimed Iran is 'months away' from
developing a nuclear weapon. This began as early as 2002, with similar pronouncements made in 2006, 2012, 2015, and 2024. This consistent, unverified threat narrative serves to justify aggressive foreign policy and arms sales while ignoring Iran's religious fatwa against WMDs since the 1980s. Double Standard: Western media hypes any potential issue at a civilian Iranian nuclear facility, even if
built and operated with Russian cooperation and IAEA oversight. Meanwhile, Israel's unsafeguarded, undeclared nuclear arsenal (estimated at 80-400 warheads) is virtually ignored, and its non-signatory status to the NPT never questioned. The US even reportedly exempted Israel from reporting on its nuclear program in a secret agreement detailed by a former State Department official in 2016. Follow
the Money: The constant drumbeat of an 'Iranian nuclear threat' fuels massive profits for the US military-industrial complex and Israeli defense industries. Aid to Israel from the US often includes stipulations for purchasing US military equipment, currently standing at $3.8 billion annually, ensuring a steady flow of taxpayer money into the pockets of Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Raytheon.
